New F&A rates for the UW-Madison campus have been approved. The F&A rate for research will be 49.5%, effective January 27, 2011 through June 30, 2011. As of July 1, 2011, that rate will become 50.5%, effective through June 30, 2013. The F&A rate for Outreach/Public Service remains 36%.

For proposal preparation, the official F&A rate agreement date is January 11, 2011, and these rates are to be implemented effective today, January 27, 2011 (per RSP’s instructions).

The applicable rate (49.5% or 50.5%) to use for proposal budget preparation is to be determined by the project start date.
